Owen-Ames-Kimball Company (OAK), a general contracting, design-build and construction management firm in Southwest Florida, continued its year-long 30thanniversary celebration with the donation and planting of 30 trees at the Heights Center in Fort Myers.
The trees were donated to the Heights Foundation to aid with the completion of its 13,000-square-foot community center.

The Center will be a resource for family strengthening, lifelong learning, and community celebration in the Harlem Heights area of Fort Myers. O-A-K has been a building partner with the Heights Foundation for this project during the past few years, phasing its construction as funding became available.
The trees were planted by 21 OAK employees who donated their time on Saturday, Sept. 15.
